How do I add Assignee field for Issue Link?

Question

Hi,

I have a QA sub-task (Subtask 1) created under a Task ticket (Task 1).

Defects are being linked to this sub-task (Subtask 1) (with "relates to" value).

Below the "Issue Links" header, we can see all the defects are getting displayed with Defect Id, Description and Status value.

I would like to add another field for Assignee. The Jira version is Jira v8.5.1.

Please suggest how this can be achieved.

Hi @Sutir Mazumder

welcome to the community!

As already suggested, this isn't currently possible, however if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you should get pretty close; see e.g. this thread for possible directions forward.

Best, Hannes

Hello @Sutir Mazumder

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Adding columns to the rows in the Issue Links section is not supported natively.

Are you willing to consider buying a plugin to get that functionality?
